Where are we heading

Fellow countrymen,after the victory of the Indian Cricket team against England at Chennai, a prominent English news channel, IBN-CNN quoted that this victory is the best thing to happen for the highly hurt Indian sentiments after the terrible tragedy of the Mumbai terror attacks!!!

What is happehening, our morales, ethics, and values???

Cricket is a great sport and the victory has to be celebrated, encouraged, and rewarded but at what cost? What will the price we will pay? Is this right? What is happening to our media and ethical journalism?

This has to stop and we have to respect the feelings and sentiments of the families who have lost their near and dear and in some case the sole bread winner. Are we saying all this will be erased and changed by this sporting victory and in disguise of sports are adding insult to injury?

Personally I continue to pray for the brave security personnel and the members who fought an unequal war against the well trained, motivated, and highly weaponised and sphisticated terrorists who held Mumbai for 60 hours!

Our winning T20 cricket team was taken by an open highly decorated bus around the city, but our NSG commandos were taken back to their base by depleted, ruined state buses and all of us know the condition they are in and after fighting the terrorists for more than 60 hours do they need this? If we cannot learn to respect them at least let us not discount their valour and bravery!

Let us remain in silence for a minute for the families who lost their loved ones and for our fellow countrymen and armed forces who showed unparalled courage and character in combatting and making our lives better.

Jai Hind!
